1-5. Hallelujah!Praise God from heaven,praise him from the mountaintops;Praise him, all you his angels,praise him, all you his warriors,Praise him, sun and moon,praise him, you morning stars;Praise him, high heaven,praise him, heavenly rain clouds;Praise, oh let them praise the name of God—he spoke the word, and there they were!
6. He set them in placefrom all time to eternity;He gave his orders,and that’s it!
7-12. Praise God from earth,you sea dragons, you fathomless ocean deeps;Fire and hail, snow and ice,hurricanes obeying his orders;Mountains and all hills,apple orchards and cedar forests;Wild beasts and herds of cattle,snakes, and birds in flight;Earth’s kings and all races,leaders and important people,Robust men and women in their prime,and yes, graybeards and little children.
13-14. Let them praise the name of God—it’s the only Name worth praising.His radiance exceeds anything in earth and sky;he’s built a monument—his very own people!Praise from all who love God!Israel’s children, intimate friends of God.Hallelujah!
